The title is a bit misleading; it's running on an 8088-compatible CPU, and a 1 megabyte SRAM, with the FPGA containing the display adapter and drive controller, as well as the glue logic.

Indeed, this should be more correctly described as an FPGA-Based IBM PC/XT Chipset.

In contrast, here's a whole 486-class PC compatible on an FPGA: https://github.com/alfikpl/ao486
